Documentary wedding photography in New Orleans

Preserving the real moments that are thoughtfully captured.
Intimate ceremonies and elopements welcome.

Full-day documentary coverage

For couples who want the full arc of the day. From getting ready through to the last dance and the quiet in-between moments that make the day yours.

For smaller gatherings centered around what matters most. Your vows, your closest people, and the interactions that make the day feel personal.

For couples choosing something simple, intentional, and deeply personal. From courthouse vows to destination escapes, or just the two of you.

A small curated selection from recent weddings and elopements.

Emotion first. I’m watching for the in-between moments, not just the big beats.

I work quietly and respectfully so your day stays yours.

Weddings move quickly. I stay steady in shifting light and unpredictable moments.

When you need direction, I’ll guide you. When you don’t, I’ll let it unfold.

Simple planning, clear expectations, and a timeline that keeps you present.

You’ll get a cohesive gallery that tells the story from start to finish.

Tell me what you’re planning — I’d love to hear about your day.
